Chi Soft Drink
Firms Agree to
FairEmploymenf
Negro Press International
CHICAGO--TWO leading soft-
drink manufacturers decided that
"Things go better with Opera-
tion Breadbasket" as they agreed
that fair employment practices
"hit the spot."
Negro purchasers of Pepsi-
Cola could once again "Think
young" about Pepsi as the soft-
drink firm announced that it will
create 32 more Jobs for Negroes
In Chicago area plants, bringing
$200,000 more each year into the
Negro neighborhoods.
Not to be outdone, Coca-Cola
offered 39 new Jobs for Negroes,
bringing $250,000 more to Negro
workers yearly.
Getting "Twice as much for
your nickel, too" was out of the
question, but both firms were
offering the Negro community
a greater return on Its millions
of dollars of soft-drink purchases
yearly.
Pepsi-Cola Bottling company
agreed to Operation Breadbasket
demands after being picketed for
10 days by persons who evidently
did not "think young." Bread-
basket officials charged that
Pepsi employed Negroes primar-
ily in low-paying jobs.
Coca-Cola didn't wait to be
boycotted. The firm agreed to
upgrade Its Negro employees
shortly after negotiations started
with Operation Breadbasket,
which Is affiliated with Dr. Mar-
tin Luther King's Southern
Christian Leadership confer-
ence.
Coca-Cola officials said nine
jobs had been filled by Negro
employees since Operation
Breadbasket ministers contact-
ed them.
Officials of both Pepsi-Cola
and Coca-Cola said they had
long ago "come alive" with fair
employment practices.
Long before the "Operation
Breadbasket generation." they
said, they were hiring Negroes
on a non-discriminatory basis.
"The Coca-Cola Bottling com-
pany of Chicago is cooperating
with Operation Brea<t>asket, as
it involves only an extension of
our longstanding non-dlscrlmln-
atory hiring practices. We have
always recognized and will con-
tontlnue to live up to our com-
munity obligations, "said a Coca-
Cola official who found that bus-
iness goes better with Job equal-
ity.
Pepsi-Cola Bottling company
officials said their firm has "a
long history of non-dlscrlmina-
tory employment practices.
Wages and benefits for Negro
managers and other employees
exceeded three million dollars,
last year."
Meanwhile, two civil rights
organizations took to the streets
and stayed out of certain air
lanes as they took action against
air lines accused of Job discrim-
ination.
The Congress of Racial Equa-
lity said in Los Angeles that a day
during the week of Sept. 11 has
he en selected as the target date
for a "civil rights strike" against
North American Aviation, Inc.
CORE charged that North Am-
erican practices racial descrlm-
lnatlon In hiring and promotion.
Meanwhile, the Jamaica (N.Y.)
NAACP branch picketed the Pan-
American World Airways pas-
senger terminal at the Kennedy
International airport. New York.
W. Eugene Sharpe, branch
president, said the company had
refused to employ qualified Ne-
gro hellarc aircraft welders even
after the New York State Com-
mission on Human Rights found
"probable cause" In two of the
complaints, following an Investi-
gation Into the charges.
in announcing tne aemonhin-
tlon, Sharpe said that "As long
as Pan-American persists In this
vicious practice, we call upon the
general public to find other facili-
ties for the transacting of their
business involving air transpor-
tation."
Meanwhile, back on earth, the
Yellow Cab company, Chicago
was taking men off the relief rolls
and turning them into self-
supportlng members of the com-
munity.
These men, according to Yel-
low Cab President Robert E.
Samuels, are graduates of contin-
uously operated 17-day training
classes conducted Jointly by the
Yellow Cab company and the Cook
County Department of Public Aid.
